OMNITAB 80

OMNITAB 80 is a high-level spread sheet for statistical analysis. OMNITAB, the precursor of Minitab(TM), was developed in the Statistical Engineering Division and is maintained by the Statistical Engineering Division. OMNITAB performs many different statistical analyses, arithmetic and trigonometric calculations, and matrix and array operations. The software responds to simple instructions and uses reliable computational algorithms.

Major capabilities include:

• Statistical analyses, including
  • Regression analysis
  • Analysis of variance
• Arithmetic operations
• Data manipulation
• Matrix and array operations
• Probability functions

An important feature of OMNITAB is that the regression and analysis of variance commands produce automatic outputs showing relevant statistics, standard deviations and diagnostic plots.

Primary documentation for OMNITAB is available as a NIST Special Publication:

Peavy, Sally T., Bremer, Shirley G., Varner, Ruth N., Hogben, David. OMNITAB 80: An Interpretive System for Statistical and Numerical Analysis. NBS Special Publication 701, available from NIST, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
